S6-fity, that's a beautiful riding spot! Is that your regular area?
We're five miles away from the infamous Three Mile Island Power Plant that had the near-meltdown in the late 70's. Not the prettiest backdrop, but it's convenient (we're on the water and riding ten minutes after we leave our garage) and the steam makes a great tell-tale for wind direction!
Steam straight up = 46 degree November Butter the day this picture was taken.

And that's Tea in the jug...
For three weeks a year it is. I wouldn't be able to walk if that was my regular spot. There just isn't any wind there. I remember waking up last summer praying for wind because I coundn't get up out of bed I had to roll out!!!
i know what you mean. I take this lake trip once a year to this small lake in SE OK and let me tell you what, it's always so smooth, by the end of the week I'm begging to go home I hurt so bad!

Dom, what lake are you talking about...
"I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are just details"
it's a small lake called Lake Hugo. During the week we are the only boats on the water. They have nice cabins on a bluff over looking the lake. I have been there two years in a row, and my friends 3 and it's been glass everytime! it's awesome!

Yes, it's the Susquehanna River (at Goldsboro, PA) - do you know the area?
Our particular basin has it's pros & cons, as they all do. It's typically 6' to 10' deep, but some real shallows mixed in - so not many runabouts - mainly pontoons, fishing boats and lake lice. Only two or three other ski/wakeboard boats there, and they aren't regulars - so we pretty much have the place to ourselves from 7:00 a.m. to 11 a.m.
No night life or bars (just cabins on the islands) and not a real big party scene (except for us ;-). It's close (in the water in 10 minutes from my house), fairly-well wind protected... works for us.

S6-fity - yeah, I heard that - now add another decade of wear and tear on your body and try it
That's the way it is at our vacation spot - you go into the week looking forward to 3 sessions of 2 sets per day - half a week in, you're limping around and eating Alleve like it's candy...
Add to it trying to learn the Backroll last year. Attached are a few more pics of when it sucked to be me... Happily, I eventually figured out how to Over-rotate on some, and then finally, ride them away...

Good thing you were wearing a helmut!
Cursed by a fortune cookie: "Your principles mean more to you than any money or success."
I love your spelling of 'helmut'! - shouldn't it be helmutt, Dog?
Yeah, I got it primarily for ear protection - it has ear flaps. I ruptured my eardrum a few season back and tried riding w/earplugs after that, but they didn't stay in very well - especially if I stacked really hard - and difficult to find earplugs floating in the water.
Every once in awhile I'll ride without the lid on - feels good, kinda like riding naked... (I guess )
